醫學筆記匯整 ED Notes

Suggestive, but not independently diagnostic.
The lack of echocardiographic evidence for pulmonary hypertension does not exclude diagnosis.
Not used as an initial diagnostic test if pulmonary embolus is suspected clinically.
 

* McConnell' s sign : 

Echo pattern of RV dysfunction consisting of akinesia
of the mid free wall but normal motion at the apex.

 

* 要是 New RV dysfunction ~~ New TR !
 

DVT echo 也只能掃到 femoral artery 
其他位置 ex IVC, Iiliac.... 還有 tumor emboli 都掃不到
DVT echo 無法完全排除 thrombus
